I am the Daughter

Limited Control (33)

"Estrella you need to feed. And I this is the best I got until I get some blood bags. I'm not sure how long we'll be here though. You do realize it comes from the same place no matter what right? Blood is blood and you need to realize it comes from humans either way. It goes to the same place and it comes from the same place. It's natural. You've never had the urge to suck everything dry, I was turned. I had to transition, I had to gain control, something you lack. Only because you were never changed you were already part vampire." Tayo says calmly as my eyes flash back to the boy and himself.

"You can't just drag a boy in here and suck him dry! Do you see how fragile he is? He's not able to fill another cup of blood, much less stand on his own. Where did you find him at? And at this hour?" I ask worried. "He's a teenager he parties. A lot. Went to a club and dragged him out, I did feed as well so I hope you don't have a preference for sharing a source." He says casually. "Tayo! Do you not understand how fragile he looks? You'll kill him! Tayo I'm not doing this. No. I'm still part human and that side say this is wrong on so many levels." I almost yell towards him.

"So do I need to force you to drink? Or can you do it yourself?" He asks as I stare at him wide eyed and upset. "Why are you so determined to make me drink him?" I ask. "Sterling gave me orders to. And I can't betray his orders." He says smirking. "Then I counter that order and I give you a new one, No." He bursts out laughing smiling wide.

"Hate to tell you princess but technically Sterling has power over you. Considering he is fully a vampire but you are only half. You only have semi power because Dracula is your father, until you become Queen or save my life I won't follow your commands. So I assume we're doing this the hard way." He says as he flashes closer to me. He stares at me directly in the eye and smirks. "Stay." He compels me and for once my body listens to him. I remain there as he slowly backs up with a satisfied look on his face. "No way." He says smiling.

"It's only cause I'm tired and hungry Tayo, don't take too much pride in the fact that you have control over me for a few minutes." I spit out darkly. "I'm well aware. I'm going to enjoy this moment a second longer, see you do need blood and this could all be avoided." He says as he looks at the boy leaning on the kitchen wall and he drags him closer to the island in the middle of the kitchen. He pulls out a sharp knife and turns around to grab a cup. He lifts the young boys wrist and begins to cut as the blood trickles into the cup.

"Tayo he's going to die!" I yell as he smiles once more looking from the cup to me. He pulls the boys wrist away and compels him to keep a paper towel on it as he walks closer to me with a cup of his blood filled pretty high. "Estrella I want you to drink all this, then you will go to bed." He commands me as I yell at him to stop. He holds out the cup waiting for me to grab it with a knowing smirk on his face. "I hate you." I tell him quietly as my mind hits a fog and before I know it I'm drinking the whole cup of blood starting Tayo down with a death glare.

"Vampire blood has healing abilities, not to mention he won't remember anything of this night due to the fact that he's intoxicated and stupid. Oh crap guess you could absorb some of his alcohol. Oops." He says as I finish the cup of blood and I drop it from my hands letting the glass shatter everywhere. My eyes narrow as I stare Tayo down and I walk past him and to my room. I try to pull out of the compel but I don't have the energy too and I just want to go to bed honestly.

I find my bed and I pull back the covers almost automatically and I fix the pillows before I lay down and pull it back over me. Before I close my eyes I know that Tayo will pay for this. When I wake up the sun is sending golden days inside the closet blind as my stomach growls loudly. I listen around the house targeting each room until I hear a girl laughing with Tayo laughing as well.

"You're so funny Tayo! I've missed you babe. Why haven't you called me back? Is daddy's business becoming too hard for you? I can get it off your mind. You know sure and well I can." She says in a hushed whisper. "Annabelle I know you can but I can't right now. When all this clears up with the hunters I will be there. You know full and well the responsibilities I have now." He says sighing. "Is it because of her? The so called half? She's everywhere, every news article I've seen and read in our world includes her name just not her pictures.

Estrella means star Tayo, and she may just be your leading light in the near future. I have a feeling she will do something big, and not just becoming queen. But I also have a feeling that something dark resides in her. Is it true that Dracula is really her father?" "I don't know what will happen, she's new to this world. She was a hunter that just doesn't disappear. I respect her, and I want her as my future queen. I would die for her, I would give up my life for her to live. Don't tell her that, she doesn't need to know. She will do big things, she has a heart. Of course she would have a dark side, Dracula is her father and we know how dark he is. It only makes sense that something would be lurking below the surface but as far as I know Estrella isn't evil." Tayo says defending me.
